Greg Gantt's 29 points lead FAU to win

Boca Raton — Florida Atlantic freshman Greg Gantt started hot and stayed that way, leading the Owls to a 77-74 win over Arkansas-Little Rock Thursday at FAU Arena.

Gantt, a 6-foot-2 guard from Gainesville, had a career high 29 points, and it was his shooting that kept the Owls in the game, as the rest of the roster had trouble finding the basket until late in the second half.

"In warm-ups I was feeling it," said Gantt, who came into the game averaging 14.3 points per game. Gantt was 11-of-18, including 7-of-12 on three-point shots.
